You can do much the same thing with chooks.

Most animals have this Tonic Immobilization (playing dead) response when they feel threatened.

There was even an observed case of this around 1998 where a killer whale induced tonic immobilization
in a great white shark by quickly inverting the shark where it was held still for 15 min.

I believe the shark died of asphyxiation.:fish:

I'm gonna put some cool patches on my shirt, like he has.

If only the Secret Service had known about this, they could have saved Jimmy Carter from a traumatic experience.:rolleyes:

I know. But making THOSE go limp is more fun!

Pffft. I can do the same thing with our Yorkie when I rub her belly. Where's my white coat?

Shh. Be vewy, vewy quiet. I'm hopnotizing wabbits.

Shoulda put it on a treadmill.:yelsick:

Contrast is bumped way up on that photo...

I believe that's called the marinating position.

And the colors desaturated about 20% too.

I lawled.

Ok, what you're all missing here is that this guy is in great demand. That means that in ONE town in England there are a lot of folks who will pay to have surgery performed on their rabbit!

We weren't missing it, we were hoping to pretend it wasn't happening.
